### Ingredients for Crispy Bubble Donuts

Here’s what you’ll need to make your own **Mini Popcorn Donuts** at home:

– **1 cup rice cereal (like Rice Krispies)** – This is the secret to the crispy, bubble-like texture.
– **1 cup all-purpose flour** – To give the donuts structure and softness.
– **1/2 cup sugar** – For that touch of sweetness.
– **1/4 cup melted butter** – This adds richness and flavor.
– **1/2 cup milk** – To help bind the dry ingredients and create the perfect batter.
– **1 large egg** – For moisture and binding.
– **1 tablespoon baking powder** – This gives the donuts their lift and fluffiness.
– **1 teaspoon vanilla extract** – For flavor.
– **Pinch of salt** – To balance the sweetness.

### How to Make Crispy Bubble Donuts (Mini Popcorn Donuts)

#### Step 1: Prepare the Donut Pan
To get the perfect mini donut shape, you’ll need a donut pan. Grease the pan lightly with cooking spray or butter to ensure your donuts come out easily after baking. If you don’t have a donut pan, you can also use a mini muffin pan, though the shape will be a bit different.

#### Step 2: Make the Donut Batter
In a large bowl, combine the **flour**, **sugar**, **baking powder**, and **salt**. In a separate bowl, whisk together the **milk**, **egg**, and **melted butter**. Add the **vanilla extract** for a touch of extra flavor.

Slowly mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. The batter should be thick but not too dry. If it feels too thick, add a splash more milk to loosen it up. Gently fold in the **rice cereal**. You want to keep the cereal as intact as possible, so be careful not to over-mix.

#### Step 3: Fill the Donut Pan
Spoon the batter into the donut pan, filling each mold about 2/3 of the way full. This will give your donuts room to rise and get that perfect airy texture. If you want, you can use a piping bag to fill the molds neatly and avoid a mess.

Step 4: Bake the Donuts
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the donuts for about **10-12 minutes** or until they’re golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The tops of the donuts should look crisp and slightly browned, and the donuts should have a nice light texture when you gently press them.
